The second site appears to have some markup validation errors that are probably creating the differences in display cross-browser.
In my browsers the first site has more whitespace on the right and left borders, with the exact same theme and css style. The second site looks identical.
I haven’t come across this issue before with making wp sites.
thank for the tip esmi
I have decided to try using a “%” percentage instead of using #px or #pt to define an <div>. And I have tried again on 2 monitors with both browsers and it looks identical. I don’t think this should cause any issues. Do people still browse in 800×600 these days, do they still scroll horizontally? If anyone thinks this will cause issues please let me know. I will close this thread in 7 days if there are no future responses.
Your google-ad id repeats itself a few times in your theme. You need to class it, not id it if you want to use it more than once.
Also, if you’re talking about white space in terms of margin spaces, IE automatically renders margins, floats, and the like a bit differently than Firefox does.
What you’re seeing is probably IE’s tendency to expand blocks of content or both IE and Firefox’s problem with collapsing margins.
